International Lindsay*
DNA Group 11

The defining term "Lindsays of Anson
County, North Carolina" is used in
an attempt to establish a basic origin geography for the composite DNA Group 11.

The DNA Group 11 is a grouping composed of six (6)
participants.

Stephen
Lamar Lindsay is the Group
Administrator for DNA Group 11
and can be reached via e-mail by clicking on
Steve Lindsay.
Steve
is a very knowledgeable researcher for this biological grouping of Lindsays and should be
your first contact for questions pertaining to DNA Group 11
genealogies
and in the determination of any
one of the Most Recent Common
Ancestors (MRCA).

**************************************************

I would have been delighted to have informed Round 2 (year 2002) participant
L0034 that his DNA was finally matched. Participant L0034 died July 2003, but I am still delighted to have announced, in his memory, the match of his
DNA in April 2005. The message in this story is simple. Do not give
up in finding your DNA match.

Participant L0034 (deceased 2003) has two miss-matching markers, out of the original 26 markers, with participant L0071. It is
believed that James Lindsey (1768 Anson Co., NC - 1820 GA) is the Most Recent
Common Ancestor (MRCA) for participants L0034 & L0071. James &
Ruth Howard Lindsey had a son John (1805-1833, ancestor of L0071), and a son
Clement Lindsey (1814 - 1876 Texas, ancestor of L0034).

Participants L0071, L0088 & L0140 have a perfect match (43 out
of 43 markers). It is believed (but not proven) that the Most Recent Common
Ancestor (MRCA) for participants L0071 and L0088 is Edward Lindsey (bef. 1750 -
?) and who married Rachel Stewart. Edward & Rachel were the parents of
William, John, George and James Lindsay/Lindsey. L0071, L0088 & L0140 have
established the modal haplotype for DNA Group 11.

Participant L0117 has three mismatching markers, out of 43 markers,
with the modal haplotype of DNA Group 11.

The names of the Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) for many of these
Lindsay/Lindsey lineages has not yet been determined, but the participants are
currently researching the data for possible merge points.

If you have information, accompanied by the appropriate citations, that
demonstrate how any of the Lindsay/Lindsey lineages of DNA Group 11 are
connected, please contact Steve
Lindsay, Administrator DNA Group 11.

Reference Notes

Proper Analysis of DYS389-1 & DYS389-2 Marker Mutations.

In analyzing the marker values in the table representing this DNA Group, it
is important to remember the following in your analysis of loci DYS389-1 and
DYS389-2 matches and mismatches.

The loci DYS389-1 and DYS389-2 are two legitimate lengths of DNA but
move in tandem.

DYS389-1 refers to the length of only one portion of the DYS389 marker.

DYS389-2 refers to the total length of the DYS389 marker. Therefore,
when there is a one step mutation at DYS389-1, it will also appear to be
in DYS389-2.

When comparing one individual to another, if the values for two
individuals differ by one repeat at DYS389-1, that represents a one-step
mismatch.

If the values for the same two individuals differ also by one repeat at
DYS389-2, then it should only be counted as one combined mutation for
DYS389-1 & DYS389-2.

If the marker values for two individuals differ by one repeat mismatch
at DYS389-1 and a two repeat mismatch at DYS389-2, then it should be
counted as two separate mismatches or mutations.

There is another and potentially even more confusing situation that
could occur at marker DYS389. If the marker values for two individuals
differ by one repeat mismatch at DYS389-1 and then a perfect match at
DYS389-2 for these same two individuals. This should be counted as two
separate marker mismatches since the value mismatch at DYS389-1 was offset
by a mutation in the opposite "direction" from the value found
at DYS389-2 and appears to cancel out the mutation that occurred at
DYS389-1.

However, keep in mind there can be a mutation at DYS389-2 that will not
affect the length found at DYS389-1.
